WHAT JOURNALISTS SEE.-One of
the great trials of the newspaper pro-
fession is that its members are COM
PEELED to see more of the sham of the
world than any other profession.
Through every newspaper office, day
after day, go all the weaknesses of
the world-all the vanities that want
to be pulled; all the revenges that
want to be reaped; all the mistakes
that want to be corrected; all the
dull speakers that want to be thought
eloquent; all the meanness that wants
to get its wares noticed gratis in the
editorial column in order to save the
tax of tho advertising column; all the
men who want to be set right who
never were right; all the crack
Drained philosophers with stories as
long as their hair, and as gloomy az
their finger nails in mourning be-
cause bereft of soap--all the bores
who come to stay five minutes, bu,
talk FIVE hours. Through the edito-
rial and reportorial rooms all the fol
lies and shams of the world are seen,
day after day, and the temptation is
to believe neither in God, man ne
woman. 1t is no surprise to me that
in this profession there are some
skeptical men; l only wonder that
newspaper men believe anything
